SHELBYVILLE, Mo. – For the second time in 11 days Scotland County and Schuyler County met. This time it was a non-conference game in the first round of the North Shelby Tournament and the Lady Rams got a small measure of revenge, winning 49-38.

“The girls played ferocious defense tonight that forced Scotland County into taking some bad shots. We were able to maintain control late as we stepped up and hit some big free throws,” said Schuyler County head coach Thomas Kirkland.

The two teams started off slowly as the score after one was Scotland 6, Schuyler 4. A slow third quarter would come back to haunt Scotland as they only scored five points in the third and saw a tie game become an 11-point hole heading to the fourth.

Summer Small was the only Lady Ram in double-digits with her 15.

Randi Slaughter led Scotland with 12. Calesse Bair added 10.

Schuyler advanced to play top-seeded Knox County on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.Scotland moves to the consolation bracket and will play Brashear on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
